GI Joe Special Missions #10
DESTRO MUST DIE-PART ONE! The Special Missions team recruits Copperback from a Supermax prison to lead them to her former employer: Laird DESTRO. COBRA’s favorite weapons maker is in G.I. JOE’s crosshairs.

But only if they can survive their alliance with the deadly and duplicitous Copperback.

GI Joe #11
THE ORIGIN OF ROADBLOCK! How did a humble army chef become the man-mountain we know and love? (Hint: It wasn’t through home cooking!)

HissTank continues it’s Retaliation Wave 3.5 figure galleries today with Ultimate Roadblock! This release is the most movie accurate yet, featuring an updated head sculpt, movie-accurate vest with signature R lettering, Battle Kata weapons, and even a machine gun which can be used to strike a pose like the movie scene or double for the classic Roadblock’s primary weapon.

Interestingly enough, all of the figures are shown with blank stands(seems like the same stands that came with the Amazon 4 pack) while Storm Shadow is pictured with an alternate unmasked head from the Paris Pursuit Storm Shadow figure. With these figures appearing up for auction now, it might not be much longer before these arrive to retailers in the US. Read on to check out the new images!

Just when you thought everything but the SDCC 2013 exclusives have all been revealed, comes a new item, spotted by our sponsor DorkSideToys! By way of Amazon comes a listing for a

GI Joe Retaliation Ultimate Gift Set

Roadblock

Nunchuk

Slice

Cobra Commander

This Special Edition Ultimate Gift Set has everything you need for a truly spectacular showdown between the special-ops allies of G.I. JOE and their ninja arch-enemies! Pit your ROADBLOCK and NUNCHUK figures against your COBRA COMMANDER and SLICE figures! Will two masters of hand-to-hand combat be able to defend the globe against the leaders of the evil COBRA organization and the evil RED NINJAS? It’s all up to you!

It isn’t known if any of the figures in this set use all new tooling or if they’re mere repaints mixed with some kitbashed figures. Despite Cobra Commanders‘s limited screentime in GI Joe Retaliation, there is still demand for a screen-accurate figure. This is likely a set planned for Fall/Winter(as with Hasbro’s previous “Ultimate Gift Sets”), so we may get a 1st look at SDCC. Stay tuned. [Read more…]
